Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[OTB - Knobs and Dials]

lmao, short but genius. And as always impressively detailed backgrounds, soo many flashing flips and switches! Nice work.

RadioTubeClock responds:

Thanks!

[White Day Kiss]

Was wondering why Sensei was Saito. Also wondering what White Day was. Also, still wondering what was really going on here! :D But it was an entertaining short, nicely voiced; animated. And I do know what White Day is now, seems like something we should adapt in the Western world, nice way of repaying; exchanging gifts. Nice work!

CuteNikeChan responds:

Thank you!

[Where is he!?]

Heh, Waldo, what a batch of nostalgia. Could've done without the froth, but otherwise it was nicely animated!

-cd-

TheIYouMe responds:

It's funny, I've had people tell that that was they're favorite part, and others tell me, like you, that they could've done without. Never knew a bit of froth would be that dividing haha.

[Humble & Fred ep.1]

lmao, short but thoroughly entertaining conversation. Looks like one more entertaining podcast to potentially tune into too. Hope there'll be more of these!

IamRichToons responds:

Thanks so much, Cyberdevil.

[Pi Day Hooray!!]

Cats seem to be becoming a bit of a trademark for your animations. :P Nice tribute to one of those days commonly forgotten, cute and concise! Happy Pi Day!

jessejayjones responds:

Lol, they're just fun for me to draw, I love cats. Thank you for the kind words! :)

[Not Without Help]

An inspiration video with a pretty strong story! The animated parts do amplify the experience, yet the real footage seems to have an even greater effect, the disorienting typing footage, the insinuated punch, then getting up just before the clock rings, simple techniques like that seem to have the most effect, even if they don't really 'show' the experience. Might be hard to relate to drawn footage when compared to the real deal. But anyway, maybe thanks to that it didn't feel like it was an educational film all the way through, but more a work of art with a message. Hope the people who need this get to see it!

Maccamuffin responds:

Thank you! My idea was that I wanted to show people what it felt like to experience anxiety in the way that I did. In that, I also wanted to try to get people to "feel" it. That way, I could perhaps open the door to people who do unknowingly experience anxiety to identify it within themselves and hopefully seek help for it. There are many techniques I tried to achieve this in the end, some of which you've noticed :P I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[Game Grumps - Handy Glove]

Hah, simple fun. Name had me thinking of the 'Gauntlet of Fate' for a while, but that's pretty unrelated. Nicely animated!

HipnikDragomir responds:

Thanks, breh

[Eric's Quest]

lmao, that ending... up until that point it felt like all the comical moments were a bit misplayed though, as if the animation was supposed to be intense; emotional and all that, especially with the music, yet certain facial expressions/sound effects kept opting for comedy, a bit of a clash. The end was fun, but all leading up to that point felt a bit imbalanced in that regard. Looks; sounds good though, and I like the story, just wish it'd focus more on one genre. Nice work!

-cd-

ObsidianWasp responds:

Yeah, the comical moments could've been a bit better. I wanted to at least add in a bit of humor to keep people from taking it TOO seriously (and so I could pull off the ending a bit better and it wouldn't seem as abrupt)... but it was a bit imbalanced. I dunno, my future works are going to be more humor-based, and I'll try to balance out the more cinematic moments in them, too. Thanks for your review!

[Outstanding Pajamas! (Chapter One)]

What an unexpected twist towards the end, from a friendly session of chatting to a sudden death, all the more surprise in the violence considering how calm everything had been up till that point. The violence is particularly well-animated, fast-paced and vicious, and the switch to 3D right at the end was an interesting shift in perspective, it's like we've been watching the world through the eyes of the main characters all that time, and then, suddenly our perspective changes when the other one arrives. Or even better symbolism: it gets real.

Very nice lighting effects apart from the animation, in the background windows, the glow, attacks etc. And so suitable music at the end! Better than I expected it to turn out, even if it's storywise a bit tragic. Nice work.

-cd-

StashBoogy responds:

Thanks for checking it out. I'm happy you liked it :)

[Next Quest - Trailer]

The character selection all seem so familiar... turns out it is a series I've been following after all! The combination of title and trailer made it seem like it'd be the start of something new, but anyway, was a lot of fun presented this way, feels more fast-paced than the actual animations like this, even if it is just a trailer; test to music. Good watch!

mattyburrito responds:

Thanks man if that other series you were following was called Best Quest, then we're the same dudes who made it. Just now under full creative freedom :) Thanks for watching!
